Default Is there anyone out there?

Well, there may not be little green men, but some of the phenomena are amazing. Just seen the "Nasa Image of the Day" - it's the Cats Eye Nebula, and it is breathtaking - check it out!

I would think it's highly unlikely that there isn't life on other planets somewhere in the universe given the size and the vastness plus the amount of planets out there... whether or not we've been visited by other life tho is another question entirely...

Sadly, I'm at work at the mo so can't view nasa's website (it has been blocked by our webmarshall software under the rule "Block Non Business Related Sites" "

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

The work internet police are dreadful aren't they? You'd think they didn't want us to have fun I'm always amazed they haven't caught on to this site yet at work, all the other sites with games that I've used in the past are barred now! Hopefully you can catch up with the NASA site when you're at home - it's well worth a look.

I'm amazed as well... they'll probably catch on eventually (when they go thru the logs and see this site is visited on a regular basis...)
although. most of the time you can bypass the webmarshall software by using the ip address rather than the URL (they tend to block site names not addresses ) certain sites (like NASA's for example) it doesn't work with tho

Default Is There ? Isn't There ?

I firmly believe we have to go outside our senses to create a new paradigm. Whether or which there is other life forms in our universere will be something I ponder for a couple of seconds...hopefully there is..but the most fascinating thing in our universe is us..more specifically conciousness..I highly recommend anyone who has not yet discovered quantum physics to do so..It will blow your mind.

Sorry If I'm getting too heavy....
